Hype for the 2005 Beaujolais For once, a vintage and region deserves the hype. We've been importing Beaujolais since 1989 (when there were only eight crus) and the 2005s are among the best wines I can remember. Perhaps a bit less finesse than the legendary 1991s, but more material and concentration. These are wines to drink now or to hide in a cellar and open in fifteen or twenty years. Just yesterday, we tasted at Clos de la Roilette and Louis-Claude Desvignes. The Desvignes' Morgon are not yet bottled, but the 2005 Roilette will be coming to America in a few weeks. Oddly, the Cuvee Tardive is more flattering right now and you should run to get some of this stuff. I just put aside twelve bottles in a hidden spot at the Louis/Dressner Complex in Poil Rouge. You should do something similar.
johnny guitar loves beaujolais !
When I worked with Triage, I would squirrel wines around the warehouse - although it was frowned upon, I know we all did it. Today, laws have passed making this practice illegal. I think it's a threat to national security. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the Cuvee Tardive. R.John
